An n-tuple (x1,...,xn) is an ordered list of n sets. It can be constructed in several ways. A popular definition is the original set x1 for n=1 and the ordered pair ((x1,...,xn-1),xn) otherwise.
Klick on the ordered pair ( 494, 152 ) or the natural number 27 to see how it may be defined as a set.
(494, 152, 27) = ( ( 494, 152 ), 27 )
